A football club in Cambridgeshire has submitted plans for a new artificial pitch.

The pitch, which would be built in Isleham, will cost around £600,000 and will be available for the community.

Isleham United Youth Football Club, who submitted the plans to East Cambridgeshire District Council, say that the new pitch will offer a variety of football pitches and training areas to support grassroots football.

Stephen Isaacson, secretary for the club, said: "It would be marvellous for us. We haven't got a lot in the area and every year we struggle to find a suitable pitch to play on. It's the same for all clubs around the area.
